pcw rn

Yeah! Just passed the test yesterday. Scored 96 questions correct. It wasn't as bad as I thought. A lot of the questions were common sense things. I used the Laura Gasparis review book and the Pass CCRN cd to study. Some of the questions on the exam were very similar to those in the review materials I used. I am glad that it is finally over after putting it off for two years. Now on to conquer the CSC exam and TNCC!

HI I have been a RN in cvicu for the past 3 years and feel it is time for a change. I am seriously considering neuro icu. It seemed very interesting in clinicals and I worked a couple months in a six bed neuro icu as an extern. Any tips or general info or is this even a good choice at all? Thanks:)

I started a job in 32 bed cvcurgical icu in July,in which i have about 3years experience, and I really find myself not liking it. I came when there was a large turnover and new management and a lot of the staff are unhappy and it shows everyday I come to work alot of them are very dry. Dont get me wrong I had some very good preceptors who were very kind and helpful, but once I finished orientation I find that when you ask for help they say they are too busy or they'll help but you can tell they really don't want to. I really enjoy my patients I care for but I am seriously thinking of tranferring once the next schdule is finished. Would I be wrong to do that? I really don't want to work somewhere I am unhappy at. I would like to give neuro critical care a try because that always seemed interesting to me as well.

I am a critical care RN of 3 1/2 years (mainly cv) and I am planning on taking the ccrn exam in may or june of next year. I have the laura gasparis review book, the aacn core certification review book, and thelan's critical care book. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how or where to even begin. There is so much information to go through! Thanks:nurse:
